Lutan Fyah is a revolutionary spirit delivering a message of love, peace, and unity through hard hitting reggae and dancehall rhythms on stages all over the world. Born Anthony Martin, in 1975 in Spanish Town, St. Catherine Parish, Jamaica, Lutan Fyah was exposed to music at a very early age. He first decided to study architecture at the University of Technology and played professional football for Constant Spring FC before focusing on music. Using the stage name Lutan Fyah, sometimes credited as Lute and Fyah, he started his musical career in 1999. Lutan’s initial influence of African consciousness was instilled by his grandfather Tamba, and his spiritual identity is rooted in Rastafar-I, Bobo Ashanti.
He has headlined shows in over 30 countries around the world and performs on stages of some of the biggest festivals across the globe. He’s recorded roughly over 200 singles and 13 albums in his career, collaborating as well with Rebelution, Chronixx, Luciano, Anthony B, Lady G, and many more.
Droop Lion
Ultra-talented Free People Entertainment recording artiste Droop Lion has emerged as one of the leading voices of a new reggae-soul movement in reggae music this year. Known for his breakout hit, ‘Freeway’, Droop Lion is revolutionizing reggae music with his soul-searing voice, inspirational songs and awe-inspiring live performances.
Born in the parish of St. Mary Jamaica, to Inez Aikens and Vivian Brown, Andrew Brown aka Droop Lion grew up in the tough, gritty shanties of Kingston. He lost his mother to gun violence when he was just nine months old, a savage act that robbed the young man of a mother’s love.
He turned to music to express himself and make a spiritual connection with the universe. At a young age under the guidance of his grandmother, he vowed to stick to the conscious path and not compromise in order to achieve success.
“My music is down to earth and cultural. There's always a message in it. It's like a medicine to society's sickness," Droop Lion says of his particular brand of music.
While attending Port Maria Comprehensive High, he says he would always seize the opportunity to perform at school concerts and community events. He would also use his spare time to visit recording studios "to build a vibe around what he loved".
